For making use of the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service, besides the fees at present existing--under which are included the fee of 2 kreutzers the cheque, already fixed by § 8 of the Law of November 19^{th} 1887, and according to rule the equivalent of the cost price of the various printed documents furnished to participants in the service,--the under mentioned fees will be taken: 1. A record-fee of 2 kreutzers for each official act with reference to the account (Deposit, Assignment, Entering to Credit or Debit); 2. A commission on each entry to the debit up to the sum of 3,000 florins at the rate of 1/4 the thousand, and 1/8 the thousand for sums exceeding that amount. These fees will be taken by writing them off the account. From the commission, however, are free: _a_) The Debit Entries in the Clearing Service; _b_) Sums sent by means of Post Office Orders through the Post Office Savings Bank; _c_) Sums written off in the Cheque Service on account of a purchase of State-bonds made for a participant, finally; _d_) Every entry of fees, commissions, etc. in favour of the Post Office Savings Bank. § 11. The Post Office Savings Bank will keep for three years the accounts, documents and writings in the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service relating to business concluded; it can only therefore give consideration to claims with reference to payments in, assignments, payments back, interest and fees, etc., when they come within this period. To claims which refer to a Post Office missive (Paying in Order, Post Office Order, Registered Letter and the like) the Post Office regulations as to the time in which such claims can be made will apply. § 12. The foregoing regulations §§ 5 to 11 apply from the time this ordinance comes into operation, and will also apply from the same time to all deposits already made in the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service, (§ 11 of the Law). § 13. The Officials of the Post Office Savings Bank and of the Receiving Offices are bound by duty to keep the business and official secrets, and not to give to any third person, except their superiors, any kind of information whatever with reference to the name of a depositor, to the sums paid in or paid back, or to the amount of the balance in hand. FINAL REGULATIONS § 14. The Receiving Offices of the Post Office Savings Bank will receive at the End of each calendar year an indemnity for business done in the Post Office Savings Bank Service. This indemnity amounts to: _a_) Two kreutzers at the close of each year for every deposit-book issued at the Receiving Office in question during the year and then existing. _b_) One and a quarter kreutzer for every payment during the year effected at the Receiving Office in question, into the Savings Service and into the Orders' (Cheque and Clearing) Service. § 15. This Ordinance will come into force at the same time as the Law of November 19^{th} 1887 (R. G. Bl. N^o 133). IV
